Mobile apps may be taking screen time from television, but consumers are still paying much more for TV.

The average American consumer pays 64 cents per hour of entertainment on cable TV, compared with 11 cents on mobile games, analytics firm Flurry reported in a study released Friday. That means Americans are paying about 5.8 times more for one hour of cable. That number was about the same last year.
